Technical Abstract

A semiconductor package is provided. In one configuration, the semiconductor package includes a substrate. A conductive trace is disposed on the substrate. A conductive pillar bump is disposed on the conductive trace, wherein the conductive bump is coupled to a die. In another configuration, a first conductive trace is disposed on the substrate, and a second conductive trace is disposed on the substrate. In the second configuration, a conductive pillar bump disposed on the second conductive trace, connecting to a conductive bump or a metal pad of the semiconductor die. A first conductive structure is disposed between the second conductive trace and the conductive pillar bump or between the second conductive trace and the substrate, and a die is disposed over the first conductive trace.
